In Memory of Evelyn M. Silvia

Professor Evelyn Silvia, our colleague of 33 years, passed away on
1/21/06, after a courageous fight with ovarian cancer. She was 57 years
old.
The Mathematics Department has established the Evelyn M. Silvia

Evelyn's advocacy for the improvement of K-12 math education. The
recipient of this scholarship will be announced at the Department's
Annual Award Ceremony held in late May/early June each year.
